Welcome to ourย gallery featuring images of the timeless, modern Sprecher Home, a creation by SAOTA (Stefan Antoni Olmesdahl Truen Architects)ย located in Cape Town, South Africa.

The main aim with this design, as put forth by the well-traveled owner,ย wasย for the house to beย inspired by its indigenous surroundings, residing inย the recently established Sea Farm Private Nature Reserve.

The family had this home crafted as a modern, low-maintenance weekend retreat, in order to take advantage of the gorgeous countryside and ocean views.

The open, minimalist design allows each bedroom to flow into the central living space, while mostly transparent exterior walls afford panoramic views from anywhere inside.ย Located on theย rocky Cape coastal peninsula, the home is perched above a strikingย seascape with expansiveย vistasย of the surrounding Hangklip Mountain.

A short walk from the front door through the interior will leave you standing at the rocky shoreline in seconds.


The central, open space flows directly into this sheltered seaside patio through floor to ceiling sliding glass. Set of adirondack chairs and full dining space in distance provide ample seating next to the ocean.
